Much better than the last place I went in Portland. Super nice staff and they did great work.

Excellent as always.

Ashley does amazing work. The salon is always very welcoming.


Nov 05, 2024

Although this is a men's salon, I went in for a women's haircut and was 100% satisfied with the haircut I received, they have top of the line service and great price too...


Nov 05, 2024

I am incredibly grateful to have found Hair M - a place where I can depend on an excellent haircut every time. Thank you, Samantha!


Nov 05, 2024

Jess is great—accomplished, artistic, and cuts my hair the best I’ve had in Portland!


Nov 05, 2024

Samantha has been cutting my hair for 10 years or more at the downtown location and it's always been a pleasant and positive experience.


Oct 05, 2024

Best place in town, shout out Yvonne!!! Always a good cut.


Oct 05, 2024

Once again Yvonne gave me an excellent haircut and was delightful to talk with. She is a superb hairdresser. I am so glad I found her.


Aug 05, 2024

Ashley was my cosmetologist and she was great. Fun conversation as well.


Jul 05, 2024

Always friendly and with great service. Ashley has figured out the mess that is my hair!


Jul 05, 2024

Had a half inch trimmed off my shoulder-length + hair after a wash. I was hoping to get some advice from the master stylist, but she offered none even after asking what style would look best on me. I don't think this place gets a lot of men with shoulder length plus hair. You'd expect more for the $70 I spent other than a glass of wine. Disappointed. I will be going where my girlfriend goes as she always comes back with a nice style while saving money. We'll buy our own wine.


Jul 05, 2024

Love HairM and the staff is always friendly.


Jul 05, 2024

While i a little tired of the volume of emails and text reminders, I love my cut, my beverage, and the people that work at the downtown store, all five star. The massage platinum level cut is a treat as is the entire team. I hope I don't continue to get rating requests- email “volume” in general is a universal problem, right? But it’s hard not to give back to an excellent provider.


Jun 05, 2024

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Samantha for years, and she is great every time. Love this place. Highly recommend.


Jun 05, 2024

Samantha was terrific


Jun 05, 2024

Visiting my barber is always a pleasure. Their skill and attention to detail ensure I leave feeling confident with a fresh haircut every time. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Additionally, Ellie's kindness and warmth add an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Highly recommend!


Jun 05, 2024

Yvonne was great. I didn’t exactly know what I wanted and she helped me find a style that was exactly what I didn’t know I wanted! The scalp massage was so relaxing and the hot towels were a nice surprise. She even finished my cut with a straight razor shave to my neck. Truly an elevated experience! I will be back!


May 05, 2024

Dori is great! Highly recommended.


May 05, 2024

Great haircut and color.Looks nice and neat.I have to travel all the way into Portland from Wilsonville for service.Samantha is the best.


May 05, 2024

I'm surprised it's taken this long to leave a review for a company that I so admire. I have been getting haircuts ar Hair M over the course of 20 years, and only when I'm traveling or ither circumstances get in the way have I gone elsewhere to get a haircut, and I always comparing it to them. Consistently exceptional experience where I have NEVER had a bad or 'meh!' haircut, and the staff are always wonderfully pleasant and inviting. Highly recommended!


May 05, 2024

I’ve been coming to Hair M for years. I love it and Samantha is the very best there is!


Apr 05, 2024

Awesome experience. Staff is awesome and the hair cut was exactly what I wanted


Apr 05, 2024

DORI ROCKS! My hair is pretty difficult to deal with and I have had some bad hair cuts from other places. But Dori kicked butt. Great lines, even cut and I feel amazing. I also got a beer while I waited. Front desk attendant was awesome too. All around great place.


Apr 05, 2024

EXCELLENT HAIRCUT! As its always been, the haircut experience at Hair M was outstanding! Stylist Yvonne is gives an excellent haircut, shampoo & scalp massage, and is friendly and engaging, as is the entire staff. The complimentary beverages are a nice touch. The location is excellent with added bonus of dedicated parking--a rarity downtown. Enthusiastically recommended!


Apr 05, 2024

Was my first time really taking an interest in a haircut at a quality salon. Yvonne talked me through everything I asker her and gave me the best haircut I've probably ever had. She recommended products I'd need to stay looking good. They also have great services like free neck shaves and cheaper shave trims if you just want to get touched up and looking good again. Great place and definitely going again next time. Plus Yvonne was great!


Mar 05, 2024

Always a great experience it's nice to have your own stylist but in a pinch I've never been disappointed with anyone. Skilled, friendly, and super professional!!


Mar 05, 2024

Great facility, really friendly atmosphere. Ashley has a fantastic feel for what will look good, even when it feels like I am guessing about what I might want. The King’s Cut is a great value and always brightens my day significantly.

I've learned that it's tough to navigate the world of haircuts as a guy with long hair. My go-to salon is temporarily out of commission and I needed a trim, so I gave this place a try. I had been to Hair M in Lake Oswego one time before (when I had short hair) and it was fantastic. I live closer to downtown now so I decided to give this location a shot. With longer hair (past my shoulders) I generally only get about 2 cuts a year, so I really rely on the stylist to know what will work for my face shape and hair quality and interpret what I'm asking for into something that actually looks good. Prior to booking I called to ask if anyone specialized in longer hair and was told anyone could do it, so I booked one of the lvl 7 stylists and figured I'd treat myself with the mini spa/massage treatment as well. In short, it was all just "fine," but the haircut was even a little disappointing. The stylist pretty much cut my hair straight across with no layering, thinning or shaping, and went a little shorter than what I had asked for. So I ended up with a sort of big triangle bob once my hair dried that didn't look good down or up. But I'm not one to make a fuss and besides what am I going to do once the hair is already cut and gone. The massage/spa portion was also just fine, I appreciated the hand massage but had to spend a few minutes just trying to wipe all the goopy lotion of my hands and arms to the point where it felt excessive and the stylist was back at the chair just waiting for me. I've been thinking about it for a couple months now and watching as my hair grows back, and I'm pretty sure I won't be back as a regular customer. This place clearly does a great job with shorter men's cuts, but I think that as with most places that cater to men's haircuts specifically they just aren't used to cutting longer hair on men... or maybe I just got a one-off bad cut on a bad day. In short, probably safe to come here with short hair, otherwise go wherever your wife/girlfriend/sister/female friend goes and you'll get a much better cut for your longer hair at about the same price point.

Jen is simply fantastic. She very quickly understood my weird head and I walked out looking Fine! Kings Cut Pro Tip while she is fun to chat with, just relax and silently soak in the bliss of the Tea Tree scalp massage. I’d go every week if my hair would just grow faster!


Feb 05, 2024

$80 for a high & tight haircut and beard trim in 22 minutes is simply unreasonable. Premium prices for minimal effort. I would give 1 star but they did offer me a “free beverage” and provided a 3 minute shampoo. Guess that counts for something.

Got a massage from JoceLynn and she is amazing. Part masseuse, part chiropractor. I have been having shoulder issues and it hasn't felt this good in a while. You can tell she truly enjoys her craft, and helping the customer. Highly recommend seeing her.
